In its place, you have the literal vision of an eagle that you can fly around anywhere you want. It’s a ton of fun.

There’s almost literally no end of things to do, it’s just not bombing a mini-map. Also, you can change the combat difficulty. (I played on hard and it really wasn’t that bad, because of the way the game is constructed.)

The last Hitman game wasn’t quite good, it was amazing. After some lows and unevenness, it really set a new high point for the series. Finally we got the quintessential, perfect Hitman game, and yeah then the developers get dropped.

One of my douchey friends posted on LinkedIn about how she was now in charge of “disruptive technologies” at the bank she works for. In total innocence I asked what sort of disruption... like, disrupting hackers? She PMed me the explanation - too embarrassed to reply publicly which would reveal that she was connected…

One sad correction: The last Hitman game was not successful (despite being quite good!) and thus Square Enix cut ties with the developers and it nearly killed the franchise.

I fought so goddamned hard to get people to stop buying bottled water at the NGO(!) where I work, and the admin finally gave in -

“Disrupt” is my new least favourite corporate jargon. Narrowly edging out “boil the ocean.”

I’d be overjoyed to have somebody steal my Book Ideas, so long as they follow through and actually write them. Lord knows I never will. Besides, my Book Ideas generaly make the list becuse they’re books I want to READ, not books I particularly want my name on.

I’d really like to point out all the foolishness in this episode — no fewer than three Deus Ex Machinas rescue Ezekiel and WTF were each of them doing while he was struggling to get away... Armed Saviors choosing to simply escape rather than kill the woman who’s 50 yards away and murdered all their friends...…

Whenever the tiger isn’t on screen I’m wondering, “Where the fuck is the tiger?”

“That’s how many episodes of sweaty people ducking around corners, shooting, then leaning back again? Who cares?”

I cannot even lie, when this episode began, I was griping out loud to the tv, “Man, another speech? He’s fixing his hair? He’s slowly walking around and staring at everyone? DAMN! This is such a waste of time!!” And I repeatedly begged Pedo Glasses to just shove the sword into Ezekiel’s eye.

They don’t really understand how tigers work, huh? That was easily one of the least plausible deaths in the history of the show. A bunch of rotting muscle and sinew is going to a tear apart an animal as strong, fast, and agile as a tiger weighing several hundred pounds? It’s goofy enough when these decayed blobs can…

This show has become *hysterically* terrible. When they are down to having radioactive zombies eat the cartoon of a tiger to try and generate pathos, you know it’s over.

Those glasses made it look like he died in Waco.

Except for the paperclip industry. Fuck, those people are full of themselves.

Anthony Edwards says he was molested by Gary Goddard, who was one of the 4 execs named in that lawsuit filed against Bryan Singer a few years ago.

Yes. The tech industry is notoriously introspective and honest in examining its own practices. Surely, it would never suggest that *it* had simply achieved a true meritocracy and thus had no reason to look at how it might be discounting and discriminating against, say, anyone with breasts.... No sanctimony there.

Silicon Valley and San Francisco quietly raise their sanctimonious hands.
